Pitch In for Peace!

Reverend Eric Folkerith has agreed to perform at the fund raiser
and celebration for people going to Washington DC for the September
24 national anti-war march. He will appear on September 12 at the Nodding
Dog Coffee Shop in the Bishop Street Arts District, 500 N Bishop Ave Dallas
TX, 75208. The event lasts from 7 to 9 PM. Reverend Folkerith's new song, "Chapel
Hill Road," recounts the courageous stand taken by Cindy Sheehan at "Camp
Casey" near Crawford, Texas, this summer.

As of Labor Day, we have about 40 North Texans signed up to go
to Washington. Only a few can afford air fare, and ground transportation is
not much cheaper. 24 of our volunteers need some kind of financial assistance
to make the trip. The sooner the money arrives at the Dallas
Peace Center, the sooner we can make commitments for a big North Texas delegation.
Send tax deductible donations to the DPC at 4301 Bryan # 202, Dallas, TX 75204-8147.
Mark checks "For DC" unless you prefer your donation go into the DPC's
general fund. We are also looking for vehicles that can make the 25-hour trip
to DC.

Those who would like to go can send their information to the DPC
or to me. Include contact info, special travel needs, and whether or not you
have the estimated $200 travel money for ground transportation. If you have
less than, $200, include the amount you have. Planning meetings occur each Tuesday
evening at 7 PM at the DPC; all are welcome.

The September 12 reception will occur as the need for funding
becomes critical, because travel arrangements must be made in advance. Please
try to get donations in before then. Let's make the September 12 event more
of a celebration than a fund-raiser! The Nodding Dog is easy to find from downtown
Dallas. Take Houston Street south across the river. It changes names into Zang.
Stay on Zang one block past Davis, then turn right into the Bishop Arts District.
